			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was looking for a birthday card last night at the local box store and stumbled on a little treat&#8230;  A sorry the economy hates you card.</p>
<p>I know they make cards for practically any occasion, but this one doesn&#8217;t quite make sense.  Take a look at it for yourself.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://blog.selfeducatedidiot.com/images/unempcard.jpg" alt="Sorry about your unemployment greeting cards...  WTF?" /></center></p>
<p>I would have bought one for my unemployed brother if the inside said <em><br />
<h4>&#8220;I would have sent balloons but mom said you might hang yourself.&#8221;</h4>
<p></em>  Instead, the message was pretty lame.  The inside of the card said something dumb like <em>&#8220;How&#8217;s about &#8216;It&#8217;s my treat&#8217;&#8221;</em> to imply that the sender was willing to buy a pity meal for their friend.  </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t get the point?  Is it to rub it in your friends face that while they don&#8217;t have a job, you have enough spare change to drop a few bucks so you can send them a piece of mail to remind them that they are living on government handouts?  If so, I&#8217;m all for it.</p>
